Rose Moore

Rose Moore was born in Nashville, TN and majored in Studio Arts at the University of Minnesota where she grew up. After marrying fine art painter Jose Vidal of Barcelona Spain in 2005 she launched her line of hand painted natural shell jewelry. She currently makes her home in various locales, the Mission District of San Francisco being one. An avid traveler and one time recording artist, Rose draws her inspiration for her painting from nature.

Rose says: "I find the intrinsic beauty of nature to be a key element in what allows me to create. Light and texture influence my choice of colors whether painting flowers or abstracts. Working with mother of pearl shell is especially captivating as it possesses its own natural light. The bend of curve of every shell in its pristine state is of itself a work of art."
